Software Installation

Installing the MadgeTech 4 Software The Madge Tech 4 Software makes the process of downloading and reviewing data quick and easy, and is free to download from the Madge Tech website.

1. Download the MadgeTech 4 Software on a Windows PC by going to:  madgetech.com/software-download.
2. Locate and unzip the downloaded file (typically you can do this by right clicking on the file and selecting Extract).
3. Open the MTInstaller.exe file.
4. You will be prompted to select a language, then follow the instructions provided in the MadgeTech 4 Setup Wizard to finish the MadgeTech 4 Software installation.

Device Operation

Using the pHTemp2000

1. The pH electrode should have a BNC output connection, or an appropriate adapter.
   Select a probe with an output impedance less than 300 megaohms at the desired temperature.

2. The temperature probe must be a 100 Ω platinum RTD, in the standard 2,3 or 4-wire 0configuration. The pHTemp2000 is designed to achieve exceptional accuracy with the wire probe, but will still yield measurements better than required for a pH-measurement with the 2 or wire probes.

3. Insure that the probe you select can be connected to the pHTemp2000 RTD input by selecting a probe with lead wires, or by attaching an adapter that will allow you to connect wire leads to the probe.

4. Connect the probes to the data logger.

5. Refer to the description of your pH probe for a calibration procedure.
   

KEY

1. Reference (-)
2. Measurement(-) Input
3. Measurement (+) Input
4. Excitation Current Out (+)

Warning: Note the polarity instructions. Do not attach wires to the wrong terminals.

100 Ω, 2 or 4 wire RTD probes are recommended for the most accurate performance. Most 100 Ω, 3-wire RTD probes will work, but MadgeTech cannot guarantee the accuracy. To determine whether or not the 3-wire RTD probe will work, the resistance between the two same colored wires should be less than 1 Ω. (Note: Please contact the manufacturer of the RTD probe for questions on the resistance)

Connecting and Starting the data logger

1. Once the software is installed and running, plug the interface cable into the data logger.
2. Connect the USB end of the interface cable into an open USB port on the computer.
3. The device will appear in the Connected Devices list, highlight the desired data logger.
4. For most applications, select “Custom Start” from the menu bar and choose the desired start method, reading rate and other parameters appropriate for the data logging application and click “Start”. (“Quick Start” applies the most recent custom start options, “Batch Start” is used for managing multiple loggers at once, “Real Time Start” stores the dataset as it records while connected to the logger.)
5. The status of the device will change to “Running”, “Waiting to Start” or “Waiting to Manual Start”, depending upon your start method.
6. Disconnect the data logger from the interface cable and place it in the environment to measure

Note: The device will stop recording data when the end of memory is reached or the device is stopped. At this point the device cannot be restarted until it has been re-armed by the computer.

Downloading data from a data logger Connecting and Starting the data logger

1. Connect the logger to the interface cable.
2. Highlight the data logger in the Connected Devices list. Click “Stop” on the menu bar.
3. Once the data logger is stopped, with the logger highlighted, click “Download”. You will be prompted to name your report.
4. Downloading will offload and save all the recorded data to the PC.

Computer Interface

Fully insert the male connector of the IFC200 interface cable into the female receptacle of the data logger. Fully insert the female USB connector into the USB. (Please see the Data Logger Software manual for further information.)

WARNING: Install driver before connecting a device using a USB for the first time. See the Software manual for further information.

Front Panel Overview

Changing the display units

The pHTemp2000 comes with factory default display units of °C for the RTD temperature channel, and pH for the pH channel. These units can be easily changed by pressing the F3 button in the main screen and then selecting either F1 for the RTD temperature or F2 for pH probe. After selecting a channel, the available units can be scrolled through by either pressing the channel’s function key repeatedly or using the UP and DOWN keys.

Button pressing chain: Main Screen -> F3 -> F1(temp), F2(pH) -> function key repeatedly or UP and DOWN

Changing the number, type, and size of channels viewed

By default the pHTemp2000 displays recently measured values of both channels (RTD temperature and pH probe) on its Main Screen with the two channels taking up the maximum amount of screen space available. Channels can, however, be hidden or viewed on a smaller or larger scale.

To change the number and type of displayed channels:

From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen. On this screen, F1 corresponds to the RTD temperature channel and F2 to the pH probe.

Pressing these function keys will cause the channels to scroll between “show” or “hide” channels displaying “show” will appear on the main screen and channels displaying “hide” will not. Any number of channels between zero and two may be shown.

Button pressing chain: Main Screen - > F4 -> F1 -> F1(internal temp) or F2 (pH probe)

To change the size of displayed channels:

From the Main Screen, press the F4 key to enter the Setup Menu and from this menu press the F1 key to enter the Display screen, then F4 to scroll to the next screen. Here the F2 key will change the size of the channels viewed. By pressing F2 repeatedly the size parameter will scroll between 3 sizes:

Small: Both channels can be displayed and appear much smaller than the available screen space.
Medium: Both channels can be displayed and take up two-thirds of available screen space.
Large: Both channels can be displayed and take up entire available screen space.
Button pressing chain: Main Screen -> F4 -> F1 -> F4 -> F2 repeatedly to scroll or UP and DOWN to scroll

Checking the memory Status

Changing the number, type, and size of channels viewed A status icon appears on all screens representing memory, but further information including percent memory left and number of readings taken can also be viewed. From the Main Screen press the F1 key to enter the Status screens then press F2 to view memory status information.

Button pressing chain: Main Screen - > F1 -> F2
